GoodGym Huddersfield are a friendly, social running group who combine exercise with helping out in the local community. We meet every week to get active and do a physical task to help the charities, community organisations and other projects in our area.

It may not be one of Huddersfield's most senic spots, but it is becoming one of the town's biggest grot spots. We've run along it tens of times and each time the litter issue seems to get worse so GoodGym are going to do something about it...….we're going to revitalise Red Doles Lane and get it looking better than it has in years.

Bring your gloves, headtorches and bags of enthusiasm and we'll fill billions of black bags with rubbish from all that has been discarded on Red Doles Lane. I'm sure that with a good GoodGym crew we can get this task polished off and leave time for a fitness session too.

Are you up for it? The run will not be more than 5K in total, and the proximity of Red Doles Lane to the Stadium makes this task eminently suitable for anyone who wishes to walk there too. If you fancy GoodGym but are not sure about the run then this is the perfect opportunity to come along, get involved and find out what it is all about.

GoodGym groups always play nice, no one ever gets left behind on the run, regardless of pace. There’s always someone to chat to, you do something good for your local community and you get a run, plus there’s free parking and changing facilities for all GoodGymmers at the Stadium Health & Fitness Club.

Walkable

You will be able to join a group walking to the task if you'd prefer not to run.

Options are available to run between 3km and 5km in total

Remember that we run/walk to and from the task, so you'll only be running/walking for half this distance in one go.

This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us.

Ideal for beginners
